“It’s the only way I could live,” explained Airi Hirase, a Japanese influencer who has undergone more than 20 plastic surgeries in an attempt to escape the emotional trauma of her childhood, where she endured endless abuse from her mother and other kids.
Believing she was ugly and looked like her father who abandoned them to a life of crippling debt, Hirase spent around 24 million yen ($170,000) to “finally be beautiful,” becoming completely unrecognizable in the process.
The influencer had her first procedure done at 19 and recently shared before-and-after photos of her transformation, where the entire structure of her face has been altered to achieve an almost doll-like appearance.
